writers on heraldry identify the name of Daunt with that of
Dauntre, which occurs on the roll of Battle Abbey. Glover
and others assign to Daunt of Gloucester the arms which
Gwillim assigns to Dauntre, viz., sa., three beacons with lad-
ders or, the flames ppr. These arms are also appropriated to
Daunt of Gloucester, in a very ancient MS. in Ulster's office.
